Am I doing it right for my analog?
this is where I cut
this is where I re wire it

Just remove the board entirely and solder to where the ribbon is, you don't need it attached and can save room in your portable.

So I followed this diagram
Is it the same just like how I did in the negative (-) of Charger Port, negative (-) of AC Adapter & the ground to PS2 Motherboard?

is it fine if it's all bulk up in P- ?
What Lightning says. If you have a variable temperature soldering iron, try turning it up a little so you don't have to burn your board quite so much. If you don't, I'd but some thinner solder so it takes less time to heat up.

i hate it when soldering irons are disposable, the needle point of the soldering iron does not stick anymore and only gives frustration

sorry, i'm not gonna invest for a hot air tool, that's too much, i'm only doing this as a hobby and not too much expenses for unnecessary things
How thick is your solder? You can heat the board up less using thinner solder (with a flux core)

Nvm It. I need help. How do I wire the SELECT, START & ANALOG Buttons to the PCB?
Edit this picture using paint. I really need help
Solder each (left or right but not both) bottom leg of the switches to the controller's ground then solder either left or right but not both of the switch's top legs to each of the test pads (silver) on the controller.
Simples.
Simples.

Is this what you mean?
where is the ground on the 1st picture? can you point it to me?

Yes like that. You can pull ground from anywhere you want.

I saw your custom controller, it kinda resembles my controller (the one in this picture)
I see Ashen's controller back then that he added a resistor to a PS2 controller
did you add a resistor on your controller?
since our controller is almost identical
I've never made a ps2 portable, but if you can plug that controller in and it works, then you can wire it up and it'll work without a resistor. That said, I don't know why ashen used a resistor. Was his a third party controller?

The 3rd party controller does not need any resistor mods to work as a DS2 controller. Also on the 3rd party and 1st party controllers, not all the buttons have a common ground. Double check where the common connection is going, it might not be ground.

what should the sides physically look like after I trim?
what should the sides physically look like after I sand paper?
(The picture above is my first PS2 Motherboard, the one that is frustrating back then to power on, i cutted it using a cutting plier back in december 2013)
And I'm using a 2nd ps2 motherboard now, hope I won't screw this up

You need to use a high speed cutting tool like a dremel, or a band saw in a pinch if its teeth are fine enough. Cutting pliers will run the risk of warping the board, and bending traces and planes into contacting each other. Sanding the edges is a way to prevent the latter
